Re: CLang, LLVM and optimization during conversion

2016-12-15 Thread Wes McKinney
We've been developing and testing the Arrow C++ library with Clang, but haven't done any work on LLVM or code generation with it. It would be interesting to make it easy to create custom UDFs in LLVM and evaluate them on Arrow data -- a bit of glue necessary to bridge the Arrow world and the LLVM w

Changing the subject line to (try to) avoid thread confusion. Has anyone done any work or tests with Arrow and CLang? The way the LLVM code conversions work *could* be a natural path, considering that the wheel is already round. Just yesterday I was looking at how the LLVM converter to JavaScript
